StrikoWestofen GmbH

The performance range of StrikoMelter sets new standards. At a metal yield of virtually 100%, it is extremely energy-efficient and of unequalled durability. It also provides a metal quality which meets the highest possible demands. In many ways, the StrikoMelter is a unique melting and holding furnace which offers foundries especially economical production conditions.

Unparalleled energy efficiency and metal yield
Highest metal quality
The industry standard for aluminium
Wide range of versions for all applications
Proven EtaMax design

The crucible-free Westomat dosing furnace is a clean, closed holding and dosing system for liquid aluminium. The system is designed to remove metal from below the surface of the bath at all times, allowing it to be transported to the die-casting machine or mold completely automatically and free of contaminations.

The Westomat has virtually become synonymous with “dosing furnaces”. This is because it is considerably more economical in terms of metal loss and energy consumption compared with automatic ladle systems using a holding furnace and always provides clean metal with no temperature losses.

Schnorkle
The best friend of Westomat and metal casters
The pneumatic filling system is a closed transport ladle for transferring the aluminium melt from the StrikoMelter® melting aggregate to the Westomat® dosing furnace. By applying air pressure to the pressure-tight transfer ladle, the melt is fed directly into the filling funnel of the Westomat via a riser pipe. This guarantees a constant flow rate and reproducible filling processes during filling with aluminium. Thanks to this new system, it is no longer necessary to tip casting ladles at a great height using a lift truck. This fact eliminates a potential source of danger and considerably increases work safety. The design of the system enables the melt to be treated with impellers and transported into the dosing system without the necessity of transferring it to another container. 

High metal quality
Safe filling
Extremely easy to use
